1.Tokyo Station
The design of Tokyo Station was inspired by Japanese architectural authorities and is based on the European Renaissance design concept, with a magnificent building featuring a north dome, a south dome, a central dome and three floors of steel and brick.
In addition to the historic buildings, Tokyo Station has everything from food, souvenirs and shopping, so if you want to fill your belly first, you can do so too! Almost all of Tokyo’s most popular souvenirs can be found at the station, so you can choose to buy them first. There are also plenty of lockers and manual luggage check-in services at Tokyo Station, so you don’t have to worry about carrying your luggage around with you.

2.Tokyo Sky Tree
Tokyo Skytree, also known as Tokyo Skytree, is a blue and white tower with an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of Tokyo. At 350 metres above ground level, the Sky Deck of TOKYO SKYTREE features a 360-degree view of the city from the base of the tower, with large glass panels. The 450-metre-high Tokyo Skytree Sky Lounge is a glass-encrusted, tube-shaped corridor that gives you the feeling of walking through the air. Don’t miss the souvenir shop on the ground floor, where you can find a wide range of limited edition items from the tower!
3.Shibuya/Ginza
You can also go to Shibuya for shopping and food (especially curry and rice, there are really good food here, so it’s a gourmet gathering place), and experience the famous crossroads in front of Shibuya station, where 2 to 3,000 people cross the street every time the light turns green, and the highest number of people crossing in a day is over 2 million, which is really amazing!

Yoyogi Park’s most distinctive feature is the richness of its trees, which make it ideal for viewing cherry blossoms, gingkoes and maple leaves.

7.Kamakura
If you feel a bit bored of staying in the city of Tokyo, it is advisable to arrange a suburban trip, and the first suburban trip is Kamakura and Enoshima, which are about an hour away from the city of Tokyo. These two spots are also popular among Japanese people as a weekend destination, and Kamakura and Enoshima have gradually become one of the must-see lists for tourists, thanks to Japanese dramas and movies such as “Slam Dunk” and “Haiku Diaries”.

The museum not only displays many of Miyazaki’s animated films, characters and scenes, but even hand-drawn sketches of the animation are on display, giving you an insight into how the animation was formed and developed.
